What this page does not know

• What played here before Broadway record-keeping starts, and what played here outside it — concerts, benefits, film runs, anything that was not a listed production.
• How long 2 of these runs lasted. No performance count on the record.
• When 67 of these runs ended. They carry an opening date and no closing date, and they are old enough that they certainly closed — nobody wrote down the date.
